Dear PCHS Families, Alumni, and Community Members,
Homecoming Week is almost here, and we are excited to invite our entire community to join us as we celebrate PCHS Homecoming 2026, September 28 through October 3! Our theme this year is Heroes Aren't Born ... They're Built! This reminds us that becoming a hero is about the choices we make, the challenges we overcome, and the way we treat others. Every day at PCHS, we are building character, leadership, resilience, and Mustang Pride through our actions. Heroes are built one choice, one challenge, and one act of kindness at a time.
Homecoming is about so much more than a football game. It is a week filled with tradition, school spirit, friendly competition, athletics, and opportunities to bring together our students, staff, families, alumni, and community. We hope you will join us throughout the week and help us fill PCHS with Mustang Pride!
Homecoming Dress-Up Days
We encourage our students, staff and community to participate in our Homecoming Spirit Days throughout the week.
Monday, September 28: Class Colors
Seniors: Black | Juniors: Red | Sophomores: Blue | Freshmen: Green
Tuesday, September 29: Staff as Students & Students as Staff
Students get to dress like their favorite PCHS staff members, while our staff turn the tables and dress like students!
Wednesday, September 30: BBQ Dads vs. Soccer Moms
Think aprons, grilling shirts, cargo shorts, tube socks and dad gear versus visors, athletic wear, team gear, sneakers and the classic Soccer Mom look.
Thursday, October 1: White Lies
Wear a white T-shirt with a funny, school-appropriate "white lie" written on it.
Friday, October 2: Adam Sandler Night
It's Homecoming Game Day, and we're going full Adam Sandler! Think oversized T-shirts, baggy basketball shorts, loose sweatpants, hoodies, sneakers, baseball caps, and mismatched casual clothes. The goal is comfortable, oversized, and hilariously laid-back. All outfits must remain school appropriate.
Wednesday, September 30
Wednesday is packed with Homecoming fun!

It's going to be a great night to come together and celebrate what it means to be a Mustang!

Our Homecoming Parent Assembly begins at 10:00 a.m., with the Homecoming Parade immediately following.

Let's fill Joe Yanni Field and show everyone what Mustang Pride looks like!
Saturday, October 3: Dig Pink & Homecoming Dance
Homecoming Week isn't over yet!
Join us Saturday morning for our Dig Pink Volleyball Game. Come pack the gym, wear ALL PINK and cheer on our Lady Mustangs!
JV: 10:00 a.m.
Varsity: 11:00 a.m.
Then Saturday night, it's time for our students to celebrate an incredible Homecoming Week!
PCHS students will be dancing the night away at the Homecoming Dance from 8:00–10:00 p.m. in the PCHS Small Gym.
After a week filled with dress-up days, competitions, float building, assemblies, the bonfire, parade, athletics, and plenty of Mustang Pride, the dance is the perfect way to wrap up Homecoming 2026!
Homecoming is one of those special times when we get to celebrate not only who we are today, but everyone who has helped make PCHS what it is. Whether you graduated last year or decades ago, have a student at PCHS today, or simply call Pershing County home, you are part of our Mustang family.
We hope to see our community filling the auditorium, lining the parade route, cheering from the stands, and celebrating alongside our students throughout the week.
What a week to be a Mustang!
